So, after playing the 2003 original, I went in search for this game, Manhunt 2! To say it was "a bit of a pain to find" would be an understatement! This game in comparrison to the first was a major pain to get a hold of & when I got to playing it, it was worth it... mostly!
The Games Story sees Daniel Lamb & Leo Kasper escape via a break out at an Asylum after being held there for 6 years! Now out & on the run from hunters & having no memory of who he was before, Daniel Lamb, with the help of Leo Kasper, tries to piece together who he is & digs into his past! But, as he digs deeper, revelations galore hits him hard & it is one revelation of all, that'll explain how he ended up in the Asylum in the first place!
I found the Game to be mostly enjoyable! While I find a bit more of a pain game play wisw, it's not too & you do get the hang of the controls eventually!
The story for this one I'd say is more in depth than the first which is simpler and straight forward! This one however, is a bit more complex & has more to it, but is a little confusing, especially when you chop & change characters and go back 6 years prior to the current events of the game!
While the game still retains the violence the first game has, this one is restrained & nuetered due to the controversey the first game had! The blur effects when a death occurs is a bit annoying & ruins the best part of what makes the Manhunt games ace & appealing! The gore is still there as with the violence, so it's not totally censored!
The scenes are dark & sinister enough, but aren't as sinister & dark as the first game! The music is good in this one, but again, isn't as good as the first game! In itself, the game is great and has enough creepy scenes & music to make it passable! Domestic Disturbance & Interrupted Broadcast are my 2 personal favourite scenes in this game!
The character of Daniel Lamb is good, while he lacks the appeal of James Earl Cash, he still is a good character & a change from the cold blooded one we saw in the 2003 original! Leo Kasper works well as the villain for this games story line & the hunters seen in this game are pretty great despite not being quite as good as the ones seen in the original Manhunt!
Overall, it's a great game! It's not as good as the first one from obvious reasons to others that make it feel like a step down from the raw & brutal 2003 original! You'll like me, enjoy & even just about love this one if you loved the 2003 original!
7/10.
